<p>Selangor state fire chief Norazam Khamis said the bodies of a mother and son were found buried under three feet of mud and debris.</p>
<p>The body of a little girl was found later.</p>
<p>He said there was hope of finding survivors if they had clung on to piles or branches or rocks, with pockets of air, but that chances were slim.</p>
<p>Authorities said 94 people were sleeping at the camping site on an organic farm early on Friday when the dirt fell from a road about 100 feet above them and covered about three acres.</p>
<p>Most were families enjoying a short holiday during the school break.</p>
<p>The victims included seven children and 13 women.</p>
<p>A mother and her toddler daughter were found on Friday hugging each other in a heart-rending scene, rescuers said.</p>
<p>Seven people were taken to hospital and dozens more were rescued unharmed.</p>
<p>Rescuers worked in teams on Saturday to comb through debris as deep as 26 feet.</p>
<p>Excavators were deployed to clear mud and fallen trees and rescue dogs were sent to sniff out possible signs of life and cadavers.</p>
<p>Officials said nearly 16 million cubic feet of debris – enough to fill 180 Olympic-sized swimming pools – hit the campsite.</p>
<p>Authorities have said the landowners did not have a licence to run a campground.</p>
<p>Officials are unable to pinpoint the exact cause of the landslide, which came without warning, but believed it could be due to underground water movement while the year-end monsoon rains made the soil unstable.</p>
<p>The government has ordered all campsites nationwide that are near rivers, waterfalls and hillsides to be shut for a week to assess their safety.</p>
<p>The campsite in Batang Kali, about 30 miles north of Kuala Lumpur, is a popular recreational site for locals to pitch or rent tents from the farm.</p>
<p>But authorities said it has been running illegally for the past two years. It has permission to run the farm but no licence to operate camping activities.</p>
